Tired of overpriced influencer cafes? This review explores a coffee shop by Indonesian influencer Tasya Farasya that breaks the mold. It's surprisingly affordable, with great deals like buy-one-get-one-free. The standout feature? You can customize your caffeine level, perfect for any coffee lover. Find out why this convenient, no-fuss cafe is the real deal for a quick pick-me-up or a chill hangout spot, offering delicious drinks like its signature Roasted Almond Coffee.
Honestly, when I first heard it was a coffee shop opened by Indonesia's top beauty influencer, Tasya Farasya[1], my heart sank a little, you know what I mean… After all, the number of disappointing influencer-owned shops I've been to could circle the globe. But then I saw on their IG that they have promotions every day, a buy-one-get-one-free deal with a BCA card[2], and their signature coffee is only 25K[3]. So... are they just losing money for hype, or do they actually have something special? Curiosity got the best of me, and I just had to go check it out!
A Coffee Where You Can Customize Your"Life-Support Level"
The shop is located in Plaza Festival, so it's not one of those hidden gems you have to trek to find, but just a convenient spot to drop by in the mall. The environment is pretty chill, with many people on their laptops WFC (Work From Cafe), or just nongkrong in small groups. The atmosphere is very relaxed.
As I sat down and looked at the menu, one thing immediately caught my eye: You can actually choose your own caffeine level![4] Anjay! For people like us who are lightweights but still love our coffee, and worry about not being able to sleep at night or getting an upset stomach, this is a total lifesaver, right? I immediately went for the low-caffeine Roasted Almond Coffee[5]. The roasted almond aroma was so rich, the texture was smooth, and it wasn't that generic, artificial syrup flavor at all. Mantap!
Let's Be Real
To be fair, don't expect this to be some kind of temple for artisanal pour-over masters. It's more like a coffee chain that has perfected the"fast fashion" model. It doesn't pretend to be profound or sophisticated; it just tells you straight up: my boss is a top influencer, my prices are affordable, I'll give you a comfortable drink, and I'll even help you save money. For young people in the CBD looking for a place to rest their feet, grab a quick pick-me-up, or have a small get-together with friends, this positioning is scarily on point.
